What size is my digitized picture from my Ultra16 or Super16 filmcamera?

The Super16 S16 filmgate area is slightly larger than Ultra16 / U16 filmgate. But the ratio of 1.66:1 is not the best for standard formats like 1.85:1, 1.78:1, 4:3 or 2.35:1. So there is a loss for cropping!

type A scanning systems -pixel calculation depends from camera and the systems which can differ

Before postprocessing its possible to do a software degrain - this depends of the planned endproduct.

Ultra16: CINEMASCOPE or “ Techniscope “ without anamorphic

Digitally filmrecording allows possible blowups not only to 1.85 widescreen also to 35mm 2.35:1 Cinemascope /Techniscope. You have the chance to think about low budget 35mm cineproductions like “Once upon the time in the West” from Sergio Leone.

Anamorhotic lenses have some weakness against a sharp spherical lens which are used for 16mm cameras. The better spherical lens can compensate a lot of lower resolution of the frame... Todays intermediate films have very good resolution capability. It is a good choice for some new projects - maybe also for HDTV with cinelike letterbox?
